JONESBORO, (AP) — Police in Jonesboro have arrested a suspect in a man’s slaying in what was the city’s first homicide of 2013.

Authorities said Denico "Nico" Jeffrey, 20, was found dead Wednesday night from a single gunshot wound.

Investigators took Calvin Jackson, 39, of Jonesboro into custody, though police would not say what specifically led to his Thursday arrest. Jackson was expected be formally charged on Friday. It was unclear whether he had a lawyer.

The Jonesboro Sun reported the shooting took place near Jackson’s home and detectives found bullet holes in an exterior wall.
